Yes I suppose in theory that's possible and if they want to back track that's fine...I'm fairly sure I'm tied to their "approved garage" though, I'll check that.
They didn't seem even remotely interested in repairing it from the off. The assessor "inspected" the car in about 20 seconds flat - he couldn't get away quick enough and barely spent enough time to get a snap on his phone. It seemed to me that it was written off before he saw it and he was just checking boxes.
Even though the damage appears minor I imagine it could easy surpass the "66% of market value" needed to write the car off.
